Hi

I keep getting this message while trying to install drupal. the database info is right but i keep getting this

Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysqld.sock' (2).

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

For more help, see the Installation and upgrading handbook. If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your hosting provider.

can anyone help me out here?

Looks like tony_b won't be posting any feedback so I'm setting this to fixed.

Feel free to reopen if you think that is wrong.
